What People Are Saying
We celebrated our son’s birthday at Needham Bowlaway and had such a great time. The whole process was super smooth, and Zach was incredibly helpful from start to finish. The kids had a blast, and the parents loved it too. Would definitely recommend!
This place is a whole vibe. Eight lanes, fascinating high-tech setup for bowling in a basement (touchpad + automated pin diagrams). Our group had never been candlepin bowling before and we enjoyed the h*ck out of it for the last hour of the night. ...
Excellent 8 lane bowling alley. Reasonable pricing. No frills. Love it.
Fun local spot to play candlepin bowling. The guy who set us up was incredibly friendly and helpful and gave us a free lesson in how to play.
Great place for a party! I've been there for adult parties, brought my kid there for parties, and then held his 14th there. It's hard to find a spot for a young teenage boy's party, but everyone loved this. The kids had a blast and it was complete...
